I can't believe blogmas is almost over! Forcing myself to come up with new post ideas for each day has been so fun.

It seems that once again jeans are back in my regular rotation and elevating a jeans look has become my new goal. (one of them, anyway)

Though retail is busy throwing swimwear up on the racks, winter is still well underway which means we've still got a good two months of coat weather left.

I always enjoy taking a peek into what's on other bloggers' wishlists, and Christmas is no different.

The holidays come with no shortage of parties to attend, and figuring out what to wear can be a dilemma. Luckily, scouring the internet for the best of the best is kinda my thing.

Stocking stuffers are both my favorite and least favorite thing to shop for. What do you even put in people's stockings? And stockings are just for the people you live with, right? But I want to buy everyone stocking stuffers! I'll admit I break the rules pretty often and add cute little pieces to my loved ones' gifts.
It's an easy and sometimes meaningful way of gifting, and thankfully doesn't have to be strictly for stockings.

Despite my semi-regular anxiety over large crowds, browsing the mall or stores- especially during Christmas time- is one of my favorite activities. In fact, I thrive on it. There's something about the hustle & bustle of the shoppers, the giant Christmas tree displays and music blasting from the speakers that gets me all giddy.
What a rush!

Ever since I adopted the habit of more intentional shopping, I've found that when I do let myself browse I end up finding really quality pieces. (which is why I harp so much on intentional shopping- it works!)

Is it just me or was November just a blip on the radar? In any case, I discovered a few things I loved this month!

I had forgotten what my Thanksgiving outfit plans were until I looked in my Notes app & remembered I had written it down. Props to me for being a list person?

It’s long been known that consumers are no longer shopping retail, especially millennials & gen x. Whilst we value.. Value, we no longer have the resources to pay the retail price. Like, girl’s gotta eat, ya know? We’re constantly on the hunt for a deal, contrary to er, older generations who blame everything on millennials. (rant for another day?)

Comin' at you with the first gift guide of the year and I can't even take credit for the theme. I've seen it floating around in blog world and thought it was a cool idea.
Think of it as one of those tags that we used to do- you know, 'the gift guide tag' or whatever. Fun!

Let's face it, shopping can be a daunting task, especially if you don't have a game plan. Don't get me wrong, I love a good leisurely shopping trip, but it's nothing if you're not being a savvy shopper. Even if you're not an expert, it ~is~ possible to shop smartly.

Well hi! It's been a minute. If you follow me on IG you know that I took a break last week to be with family after my sweet grandmother passed away.
Definitely a bittersweet trip, but I'm ready to dive back into content! Earlier in the season I shared my autumn outfit formula, and I think the looks I've been reaching for have been staying true to it for sure.
Take a look for yourself!

I'm always thrilled when November rolls around because we're getting into the nitty gritty of autumn, drinking apple cider & PSLs on the daily.
PLUS there's Thanksgiving and the fact that Christmas creeps closer each day. For some this might be torture to think about, but I thrive on this season!

How much layering is too much? What can you wear with a blazer?

Print mixing is one of my favorite ways to experiment in my style. It's a risk for sure, but done well can be be so chic & put together.
Here are a few of my favorite inspirations for mixing prints this autumn:

Taylor Swift is the queen of fall outfits. She knows how to dress for the season (maybe it was all that time she spent in New York) and she runs with it.

There’s only a handful of celebs & influencers that I will drop everything for & buy whatever they do- and Becca Tilley is one of them.

I would say that pop culture inspired costumes have become one of the most- if not the most- popular genres in recent years for October 31st. For good reason too: they're (for the most part) easy, highly recognizable and super fun to put together & wear.
I've pulled together four costumes that are sure be Halloween hits- and won't break the bank.

Once upon a time, pairing certain colors was considered less than flattering. & pink and red was definitely one of those combinations.

"It's time for another favorites!" Words that OG youtube/ blogs know well, & words I haven't spoken in a MINUTE.

When I decided to take a step back from the blog to focus on writing, I started feeling like something was missing.
I'd been toying with the idea of a podcast for a minute (& even did a lifestyle episode last year and promptly decided I had no idea what I was doing and that was that) and realized I should be doing an extension of the blog if I were to do one.

Dresses in the autumn are always some of my favorites.
Sure, sun dresses are cute and flirty, but autumn/winter dresses bring long hemlines & different fabrics in cuts that can be layered and mixed and matched and led in new directions & still somehow turns into an outfit.

As if I haven't harped into you enough about how presenting your best self through style changes everything outwardly, we're now talking about how it changes you inwardly. (is it just me or is that one of the weirdest words? I digress)
What does showing up for yourself through your style mean? What does it look like?

I've just gotten a new sweater as part of a haul, & I'm desperately clawing through my closet trying to find any bottoms that will do so I can take photos for a try-on haul. (link post) I grab a pair of jeans and voila.
My new favorite outfit formula is born.

Autumn is perhaps my favorite season to write about fashion-wise. Between the sweaters, knitwear, over the knee boots, and pretty much everything else we wear this season, it’s as much fun dressing for as writing about.

Last year I wrote a post on why I didn't wear jeans anymore. Whilst I still have some of those same feelings, (I don't care who you are, jeans will never be comfortable) I wanted to get back to wearing them sometimes. After all, what's a good square neck shirt if not paired with some denim?

I’ve talked about how I’m really trying to lessen my clothing buying and save the major purchases for (mostly) seasonal, and lucky for you lot (& okay, me) it's almost autumn. It's been a minute since I've browsed the 'new in' on ASOS (the outlet has been the object of my affection as of late) but I always seem to find quite a few gems.

One of my biggest influences has always been fashion. The playing of trends and patterns and creating new outfits inspires me, as well as the whole of fashion. I'm continually wanting to learn fresh things in the industry and I started blogging so I could teach y'all what I learned.
So has blogging changed my perception of fashion & style at all?

Fashion is always a season ahead, so sue me if that means I am too.
There’s something about digging into your wardrobe each season, seeing what kind of pieces you’re in need of and making room for them, and autumn is one of my favorite seasons to dress for.

I've added yet another dress to the collection, this one a gorgeous pleated floral number I recently picked up from Target.

I know August has just begun but let's face it- it's time to start getting in the autumnal mindset and thinking about transitional wardrobe pieces.
As much as I believe in shopping seasonally, I think it's also smart to look through your wardrobe and see what can be used to transition into the new season. Whilst there are many a piece you can use transitionally, I've rounded it down to three that can be styled in a number of ways.

I love a good 'week in outfits' post and lately I've been drawing a lot of inspo from Emily's version. I did one of these at the beginning of summer for summer appropriate workwear, and now I'm back with more of what I wear during a typical work week.

August is definitely the Sunday of summer, no? Days are getting the tiniest bit shorter and there's a crispness in the air that tells us autumn is near.

How much could I really affect things?

You remember the ~rules~ of fashion. "Don't wear white after labor day!" "Don't mix prints!" "Only wear what's right for your body type!"
Whilst the latter is important in some scenarios, for the most part the rules we used to preach about fashion are outdated and kind of ridiculous.

If half of my summer (year round?) wardrobe consists of dresses, the other half consists of shorts. Mostly of the denim variety, but I do love a good dress short.
